Vedran Janjetovic has kept 8 clean sheets in 11 appearances against Newcastle.

Pretty concerned about this. 0-0 final score for mine

Also thanks Furns and Hawk for covering my absence

[Hunter403]

Not a "must win" but a "should win if you want to be serious about the finals" type of match. Ergo, we will lose.

No i'd say Must Win, any game against teams in the race for the 5th and 6th place are must wins

[Grimario]

Why the **** isn't every single game we play a "must win"?

[StannyCFCJET]

Why the **** isn't every single game we play a "must win"?

Cause were in a 10 team competition with no relegation. I wish everygame was a must win wether the players have this view who knows

[hawk]

Also thanks Furns and Hawk for covering my absence

Glad your back. I was running out of quality stats.

[plague]

Why the **** isn't every single game we play a "must win"?

I see this as a definite "won't win" game.

[Jeterpool]

Glad your back. I was running out of quality stats.

Just make them up like I do. People trust you and never cross-check. Also throw the odd mistake in to keep people on their toes.

The secret is out

[Couscous]

We are the Wanderers' boogie team. We will win convincingly. Vujica will start and will play the game of his life: TWO assists.

[evanhayes5]

Duncan; Hoffman, Boogs, Jackson, Cowburn; Steve U, Mateo; Nabbout, Brown, Ma; Kokko

If brown doesnt get up devante in

Was he off flying in the plane with Matt Hall yesterday?
I saw the video of it, but wasn't sure if it had been filmed another day or not..

Ah just saw that, but do you think they'd let a player have a day off to go flying? surely that could be done on a player day off?

[Bon]

Well, we are a bit of a joke..
The more I think about it, I remember Matt Hall saying in the clip that he was wary that Morton had played a game the day before, so that would mean they did the fly on Monday..

[steve136]

We will lose 3-1 and fall to 8th. Which will be fine with half the foz because we look way better coming 8th under Jones than we ever did coming 8th under Miller.
